Columbia, Oct. 18.?The state fair begins one week hence and in- j rtipfttiftns are that the exhibits this j year, are to be larger and more varied. than any previous year. Extensive preparations are being made to accommodate the crowds which come to the state capital each fall for the agricultural jubilee. 'Chief among these improvements is the large new entrance gates, which ate so arranged as to prevent congestion of traffic and provide adequate equipment for ticket distribution* " jjr' ? . . r AnothfcT* marked, improvement is j the new race track which has just been bnilt for the horse racing which will be a more impressive feature tesf: this year th&n heretofore. - This is One-half mile in length and is within t the one mile track which is reserved 1 far the automobile races. Extensions are being bnilt for the crowds who will attend the races. Ne# Hog Farm. * Last year two large hog barns weire erected and at the time it was p; V, fQt lthaf lie additional accommodations for swine breeders would have to be "provided within the near future. With the opening last fall there ' ? - m#nt exhibits tWttS S U?Cluu??) coming from neighboring states, and adores v*' pens had to be built on the outside Ofthe hog barns. To prevent 2 duplication of this overflow, a third new bam has been constructed to accommodate several hundred Hogs. All pens have floors, this third Barn being a duplication of the other tifri .neW ones. Wash racks have also b&fe provided, which were t>adly St ! ? r " Improvements have also been made iii the cattle bairns.

This will bring exhibits of prize taking birds from Tennessee to Florida and Mississippi. The South Carolina Poultry Breeders' association now has a membership of more than 300. tlie admission fee this year is $1. This will admit to the horae races, bttt not to the automobile racing events. Children will be admitted at half rate or 50 cents. ? A lower rate' is offered for school children When tickets are bought in j bul& in advance from D. G. Ellison, i treasurer of the association. The i\ bulk rate is 30 cents, but the tickets ny dur iiot be . purchased at the fair grounds. - ? * AT THE OPERA HOUSE. ? ?<$><?> WJi mC C^J. ?? t am * iv? ?i * wvi?< ^ Through the marriage of their pare?ts> widow and widower, Marion Rogers and Cameron West formed a j&: * -brtUhfefly and sisterly affection for i each other which gradually ripened! into a warmer feeling. There was an ! p Understanding, approved by Marion's] 5- fithar biit opposed by Cameron's p mother, .that the pair would be marTied some day. The sudden infatuation of Cameron for Diana Spauldw* fog, a frivolous and flirtatious de butante, and the passion of Granville Wingate for Marion, created strange complications involving the Kvea of all four. The story is told in "The Vice of Pools/' adapted by Graham Baker from the original work by Francis James and visualized by Vitagraph wttb AHce Joyce in the stellar role. It will be shown at the opera house I on Tuesday. !' " Many tense situations in the four b cornered romance give the beautiful Vitagraph star unusual opportunities1 for the display of her remarkable talent for emotional acting, and she: makes the most of every one. j Marion, at fault for once in her in-1 tuitions, believes that Cameron will sOoh tire of the vivaciously pretty Butr shallow natured Diana if he is thrown much in her company, but ? ' * A any such effect which might otherwise have been produced is overcome by Cameron's growing jealousy of Wingate. Marion tolerates the attentions of Wingate, though feeling only disgust for him, out of regard for Cameron and the hope of saving him from a serious mistake. Misunderstandings result, and keen suspense is maintained through many j impressive scenes. There is a hopeful ending to this forceful picture drama. "Sweet Lavender." "Sweet Lavender," the Mary Miles Minter starring vehicle which will' open at the opera house Wednesday had a long and honorable career as a stage play. It has been the most successful of all plays by Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. Its presentations may I be counted by the thousands and its popularity has extended over many latitudes. The reason of this is not far to seek.; it proclaims itself in the gentle humanity and genial humor of the play. Mr. Pinero avowedly designed the piece as a pleasant entertainment, not as a "problem play," and the proof that he accomplished his purpose is the fact of the work's phenomenally successful career in all parts of the world. It played over 1,000 performances at Terry's theatre, London, alone. Buelah Marie Dix, famous writer j of stories and plays, prepared the scenario. She has preserved all of the original humor, making only such slight changes as were necessary to make it more understandable for AiUCiivan ouutvMWM. Realart has assembled an excellent cast'for the offering. Mary Miles Minter has the name of "Lavender." Theodore Roberts, one of the world's character actors, has the part of loveable Prof. Phenyl, sunny hearted, incompetent, friend to everyone save himself. Harold Goodwin is excellent as the college boy lover, while Milton Sills, Sylvia Ashton, J. M. Dumont, Starke Patteson, Jane Keckley and Flora Hollister are well cast in other roles of the famous old play. Paul Powell directed. "Marooned Heart#." TJqiy4o " fho "mflrlp to iUAlUVIiCU AltUi VU| v>.w order" photoplay produced by the National Picture Theatres, Inc., with fconway Tearle in the starring role, which is to be presented -at the opera house on Thursday is the result of a combination of the most skillful brains and talent in every department of production. Lewis j Allen Browne, who has written the storied of some of the most success-; ful recent screen hits, is the author, j and dtiring the course of its creation j Director George Archambaud was in i close' touch with him, the conse- j auence being that when preparations! were made to stage the scenes, the j director was enabled to present ex-; actly the ideas and situations that the autlior desired. / x The story in brief relates how a young -and promising surgeon had his career practically ruined through a woman's caprice. ' Natu-. rally this turned the man against women in general and the one ir. particular. Then he sees a way to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of his professional confreres and the world at large by devoting himself to research wcrk. | His search of knowledge . leads him to strange places, and finally in the last place in the world he cculd meets a?ain the woman! | who changed the course of his life, j I This time fate takes another hand,! and the circle of events that follow brings matters around to where love is born anew, but this time with the solid foundation of experience and | sympathy back of it. "The Veiled Mystery." Two writers, both famous for their i I contributions to the screen and to j magazines and periodicals, collaborated to produce "The Veiled: Mystery," newest Vitagraph serial, i the first episode of which is to be shown at, the opera house October 23. These are Albert E. Smith, president of the Vitagraph company, and ? - ???... i I Cleveland Monetr, wnose cuhujuuitions upon political and economical subjects to America's most influential magazines have been read by millions. It was the purpose of these two to produce a fijm serial which would carry from one installment to the other the same quota of suspense and thrill that the serial story of the magazine does. How well they have succeeded is apparent in the success which has marked the showing of this first episode in other sections of the country. Antonio Moreno is the featured * ?Pnvlov Is 1P?H p layer, wnuc i auanc vu**vj ?w ??*?. ing woman. Supporting these two, Vitagraph has provided an adequate cast, many of the players being familiar through their work in other Moreno serials. Between the deserving poor and the deservedly poor there is a vast difference. n-?' wuq Views at Glenn-L ub Booth Glenn-Lowry Commi Section cf Basketry Exhibit Girl JCUI1UU U1 * 1V.VM.V ?? , munity Fair r ?
